We want LI to be one of the friendliest places on the internet, where lawyers and law students help each other with their career related queries and occasionally discuss other stuff that might affect their lives too. In other words:
1. Be kind, respectful and helpful to each other.
2. Be bona fide, truthful, genuine and curious.
3. Assume the best intention of others.

Trainee for lack of a better word is just a long term intern who has a high probability of getting converted.
Please shed some light on. Should I request the HR to give me ATP.
Team- Energy, mostly did M&A internships and liked it but got a PPO in energy cause I interned with the energy team once. The practice area is fine but I am still confused because energy and M&A
Reason 1: Lifestyle Neglect.
The Instagram optics are carefully curated — Euro trips, brunches, designer hauls. But behind the filters lies visible burnout. Erratic routines, stress-lined faces, and the unmistakable toll of an overextended, undernourished life. A Pilates reel doesn’t cancel out cortisol.
Reason 2: Emotional Intelligence? Missing in Action.
Some of the lowest EQ I’ve encountered has come wrapped in the gloss of professional achievement. Reading cues, taking “no” with grace, knowing when to exit a dead conversation — basic stuff. You think Delhi boys struggle with rejection? Try saying “no thanks” to a 30-something litigator. Suddenly, you’re the clueless peasant who dared to turn down royalty. Believe me — I have the receipts.
Reason 3: No Off-Switch.
Especially in corporate law — where work and identity have fused into a single, exhausting persona. Dates often feel like diligence calls. Legalese over linguine. At some point, I started wondering if I’d accidentally walked into a strategy meeting.
Reason 4: Hypergamy — and the Fallout.
Yes, it exists. Let’s stop pretending it doesn’t. It’s a wrecking ball that no one has the courage to ackno- until it’s too late.
Reason 5: Misandry Dressed as Empowerment.
Independence is great. Strength is magnetic. But there’s a growing trend of casual man-bashing being passed off as feminist sass. It’s not edgy. It’s not evolved. It’s just… tired.
And here’s the part no one wants to say out loud: many of these women don’t actually want a partner — or certainly not a male one. What they’re seeking isn’t intimacy, but affirmation. That they’re smarter, sharper, more enlightened than whoever sits across the table. And if he won’t flatter, submit, or play along — he’s swiftly labelled “insecure,” “misogynist,” or “just not enough.”
The truth? Some of them would be far happier if everyone — including their well-meaning friends and family — stopped trying to match them up. Let them own their solo arc. It’s perfectly fine to be a cat mom, dog mom, or cause crusader — provided you actually have the time, energy, and emotional bandwidth to care. It’s not a failure. It’s just a choice.
I also started recording instructions on email / mst to ensure that there is no confusion.
Surely one of the biggest ever endowments received by an Indian university!
